This is a chemical reaction. A decomposition reaction.

How do you change water into hydrogen peroxide?
Add one Oxygen particle. That's it. Hydrogen Peroxide is represented as H2O2
What is hydrogen peroxide change into when catalase reacts with it?
H20 and O2 (water and oxegyn)
Why is there no colour change when hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide reacts?
Potassium Iodide, is a catalyst and so remains unchanged in the reaction. The hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen, both of which are colorless.
Hydrogen peroxide peracetic acid acetic acid can these three be shipped in the same box and what happens if they mix?
Peracetic acid is made by reacting hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. It is shipped in a solution of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide--it's not stable if shipped by itself.So...not only can peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide be shipped in the same box, they can be shipped (no, change that to "are shipped") in the same container. As for acetic acid...depends on the concentration. If it's five-percent acetic acid, no problem. Peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide are both very powerful oxidizers, and pure acetic acid's flammable, so I wouldn't ship glacial acetic acid in the same truck with either of those other two chemicals, much less the same box.
What phase change breaks all hydrogen bonds?
The change from liquid or solid into vapor. Note that there are technically still hydrogen bonds while in the gas phase, but they're not as important (unless at a high pressure and/or low volume).
Is hydrogen peroxide a chemical or physical change?
Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Catalase is found in blood and bacteria in the wound. The bubbles you see are from the oxygen that is being released.
Why is water change to hydrogen peroxide a chemical change?
Water - H2O; Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2. It is a change of chemical formula , it is another type of molecule.
How do you change water into hydrogen peroxide?
Add one Oxygen particle. That's it. Hydrogen Peroxide is represented as H2O2
Is the element hydrogen and oxygen combine to form hydrogen peroxide a chemical change?
Yes it is.
Is Hydrogen peroxide fizzing when applied to a wound physical or chemical change?
chemical
What is hydrogen peroxide change into when catalase reacts with it?
H20 and O2 (water and oxegyn)
Why is there no colour change when hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide reacts?
Potassium Iodide, is a catalyst and so remains unchanged in the reaction. The hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen, both of which are colorless.
Why is hydrogen peroxide used as an antiseptic?
It is the oxygen responsible for the killing of germs. When hydrogen peroxide is applied to a surface, it reacts quickly and then breaks down into water hydrogen. At the same time, free oxygen radicals are released; these create oxidation, a chemical process in which oxygen combines with another substance to break down or change the function of the molecules. Through oxidation, the bacteria decomposes, rendering it harmless.
Is a cut healing a physical or chemical change?
Chemical. The hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and elemental oxygen. Two new substances are created.
How do clinistix work?
The sticks contain enzymes (glucose oxidase and peroxidase) which react in the presense of glucose. The glucose oxidase changes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the peroxidase reacts with that hydrogen peroxide to change a pigment in the stick from neutral color to positive color.
Will hydrogen peroxide open the hair shaft to increase hair dyeing effectiveness?
First, hydrogen peroxide you buy at the store is damaging for your hair. Second ,it is not the same as peroxide developer in hair dyes. Third, opening the hair shaft will make your color fade faster. Plus it could change the color of the dye you are putting on. The question was true. Yes hydrogen peroxide opens the cuticle of the hair to allow the dye to penetrate it. Peroxide is an alkaline substance with a base of about 9. It opens the cuticle so that the colour can be deposited in the hair. If you didn't use peroxide your colour wouldn't last long.
Why does hydrogen peroxide bubbled?
Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 is chemically unstable, and exposure to a catalyst will cause it to convert into Oxygen Gas and Water. The bubbles are Oxygen Gas. The equation that describes this change is 2H2O2 ---> O2 + 2H2O Even light, heat or age can trigger this decomposition reaction.
